A little plug for the work over at Gamics.com. Looks like an interesting form of metamedia for the metamedia of videogames! -- David

For generations Comic books have captivated the imaginations of untold numbers of children and adults alike. Similarly Video Games have easily become the new arena of creativity and enjoyment for all ages. So it should come as no surprise that the next evolution of graphic storytelling would come with the seamless integration of these two mediums, hence the origin of Gamics! Gamics, or "game-icks", are GameComics which use game screenshots and comic book layout style to create something familiar yet completely original.

Nathan Ciprick, the founder of Gamics.com, has been creating Gamics for nearly two years now, and it all began as a Sunday afternoon hobby to showcase his love of LucasArts' MMO "Star Wars Galaxies". His epic ongoing Gamic called "Path to the Force" updates every week and is now over 150 pages long! The story chronicles the adventures of his Wookiee character E'nac as he travels the Galaxy finding peril at every turn.

Ciprick has created over a dozen different Gamics for games such as EverQuest 2, Grand Theft Auto 3 & Vice City, Matrix Online, Doom 3, and more. The site also welcomes reader submitted Gamics with several fan-created Gamics in regular rotation. Most recently Gamics has begun officially promoting games for Atari, starting with Eugen Systems upcoming game "Act of War".

With daily Gamic updates, a column/blog, top game news stories, and a very active Forum community Gamics is poised to become a break-out site, and a welcome charge of creativity in the ever-changing games industry.
